Abstract

The stochastic‐deterministic approach to modeling of the Saffman–Taylor hydrodynamic instability in filtration of mixing fluids in a porous medium is considered. The numerical model is used to study the dynamics of development of the instability in displacement of a more viscous fluid by a less viscous one in uniformly and nonuniformly permeable media. Results of the modeling are compared to experimental data.
